For the Monday after the wedding

The part of the job nobody books you for

Nobody hires a wedding photographer for the culling. Yet a long day hands you four thousand frames, a dozen near-identical shots of every ring exchange and a stack of blinks, and somebody has to go through them before the couple sees a single photo. That somebody is usually you, late, with cold coffee.

CullTone makes the first pass for you. Each photo gets a decision and a plain reason (eyes closed, motion blur, a better frame in the same burst), so you spend your evening on the Review pile and the hard calls, not on frame 2,317 of the confetti exit. Nothing is deleted, and every decision can be flipped.

Then it carries on: edits in your look, a check for skin colour shifts and blown highlights, and a gallery where the couple can pick favourites, ask for a redo and download. One place, card to client.

Where it stands on 18 Oct 2026

• Private beta. Nobody outside the beta is using it yet.
• The desktop app runs on Macs with Apple silicon. Windows is not available yet.
• Billing is not live. Every workspace starts on the free trial.
• Only Sony ARW files have been tested. Canon, Nikon, Fujifilm and DNG files should open, but are untested.
• We haven't measured how often the cull agrees with a photographer's own picks, so we publish no accuracy figure.

The roadmap says what comes next, and the changelog what changed.

A few lines we won't cross

CullTone never picks a look from skin tone, clothing or ceremony; you choose the look per project. Your photos and your clients' faces are not used for training, and they are not sold. Anything that costs money shows its price and waits for your yes.

Wedding photography is not one culture. A Lagos wedding, a Lisbon wedding and a Chennai wedding light, dress and move differently, and we want CullTone to serve studios everywhere, including Indian weddings region by region (Telugu, Tamil, Marathi, Bengali and others) rather than as one generic look.
